Man Luojiu, the eldest prince of the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty. The mother-in-law, Sun Shi, died early and was left alone in the deep palace. When she turned eighteen, she got an empty official title: King of Qingzhou. She hurriedly left the palace, took a distant fiefdom, and married a girl from a small family. There was no ceremony for the title of king, and she was preparing to enjoy her old age.
The emperor's most valued crown prince, the fourth prince, unfortunately passed away. At the same time, the fourth prince's biological mother, the beloved concubine Liu Huifei, blamed the current queen for the frame-up. The emperor was furious, but due to the power of the Hu family behind the queen, the queen could not be abolished, so she had to be imprisoned and never leave the palace for eternity.
The fourth prince was smart, noble and extraordinary, and the emperor posthumously named him Crown Prince Zhuangde. On the day of the funeral, Concubine Liu Hui died suddenly after returning to the palace. The emperor was heartbroken, fell ill suddenly, and lay down for a long time.
The imprisoned queen had no time to relax, and had planned for a long time. The queen had no children, so she used the most powerless king of Qingzhou, Manluojiu, who was far away in Qingzhou, to be the puppet emperor, and then took control of the power herself.
Man Luojiu didn't want to be a puppet, but if he didn't obey, the biological mother's natal family, and even his youngest son who had just turned two years old, would suffer.
With the support of his wife, the instigation of his disciple Zi Lanjun, and the help of his natal family, Man Luojiu embarked on a path of no return.
He had to resist all kinds of difficulties, prevent the Queen Mother who was watching behind him from noticing any changes, and he had to be an upright emperor.
